About the Film

Chasing Rainbows – Young Adults Living With Cancer is a dynamic 43-minute documentary film that introduces audiences to six young people who are “living life while fighting for it.” In an intimate living-room conversation, the six participants provide a unique and refreshing perspective about what it is like to live with cancer when you are young. With passion, infectious laughter and honesty, they discuss Fear, Anger, Finances, Sex, Infertility, Family Relationships, Death, Faith, and the Future. Their stories provide invaluable information, inspiration and hope – not only for other young adults facing life-threatening illness, but also their families, friends, caregivers and medical support teams.

“I could relate only too well to the ever-shifting phases of fear, anger, hope and sadness…I felt as though I was at a support group eeting, nodding along with the survivors in the film – people who truly get it.”
— Karin DuBois, 25 year old cancer survivor

Chasing Rainbows: Young Adults Living With Cancer is directed and co-produced by Pat Taylor on behalf of her daughter Sara Taylor Gibson, and features animation by Derek Cummings, evocative original songs by Michael Booth Palmer (who also co-produced) and underscoring by Edward Henderson.
